[Dixielandjazz] Al Hirschfeld

[Bill Haesler]

Friends,
It was with sadness that I read of the death of illustrator Al Hirschfeld.
He was 99 and had a long association (from 1928) with the NY Times.
Perhaps Steve Barbone can post his obit when it appears.
This master of line was also a jazz buff, friend of Eddie Condon and others
I can recall seeing numerous Hirschfeld drawings of jazz/swing musicians.
Were they ever published as a collection?
Kind regards,
Bill.
